  • Mobilizing in Different Political Opportunity Structures: the Cases of French and British Muslims
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 1st Quarter 2012 Mobilizing in Different Political Opportunity Structures The Cases of French and British Muslims IMÈNE AJALA, PHD* ssues related to Islam in the European sphere have increasingly been at the forefront of public spaces and part of decision makers’ agendas. According to the European Union (EU) Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, the EU includes at least 13 million Muslims, repre- senting 5 percent of Europeans.1 For Jocelyne Césari, “Muslim immigra- tionI to Europe and North America can be seen as the foundational moment for a new transcultural space—a space where individuals live and experience different cultural references and values that are now disconnected from national contexts and boundaries.”2 Such a transcultural space is characterized by the forceful emergence of a transnational religion (Islam) in a secularized public space (Europe).3 This situation necessarily leads to tensions; that is, Eu- ropean Muslims experience difficult relations with their respective govern- ments.4 The context of the “war on terror” since the attacks of 11 Sep- tember 2001 (9/11) and the security implied have drawn additional attention to Muslims and their claims-making in terms of economic, political, and religious rights in European countries. Muslims’ integration is considered a challenge constructed as a confrontation between religious discourses and secular spaces. Of course, national differences have different effects in terms of the conceptualization of multiculturalism, and one can distinguish among them by different “philosophies of integration.”5 * The author holds a BA in political science from the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies, Grenoble, France, as well as an MA and a PhD in international relations from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland.

  • Identifying the Critical Spaces of the 2012 Elections
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. Indeed, even without such confounding factors, a ‘pure’ bipartisan system would not be predictable any more than an imperfect, realistic one. Knowing the equilibrium number of parties in a system does not guarantee knowing who votes for them or why. Even under Downsian rationality, ideology for the two parties acts as a signpost, not a GPS. 2. Those more enthused by cycle race or chess analogies should refer to commentary on the 2012 elections on our blog: 500signatures.com. 2 Knowns and Unknowns: Identifying the Critical Spaces of the 2012 Elections 1. ‘Deux riches familles ont payé les vacances des Sarkozy’, Libération, 18 August 2007, http://www.liberation.fr/politiques/010119427-deux-riches- familles-ont-paye-les-vacances-des-sarkozy, accessed 4 February 2013. 2. ‘Quand le président cajole ses (généreux) donateurs’, Le Parisien, 9 December 2009, http://www.leparisien.fr/politique/quand-le-president-cajole-ses- genereux-donateurs-09-12-2009-737945.php, accessed 4 February 2013. 3. As we shall see in Chapter 8, perversely for the FN, low turnout – so often a bonus for far right parties – dampened their ability to play kingmaker in a large number of constituencies. 4. Drees (2012) Suivi barométrique de l’opinion des français sur la santé, la protection sociale, la précarité, la famille et la solidarité. January, 67 p. (http://www.drees. sante.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/synthese2011_barometre_drees_bva.pdf). 5. We examine this further in Chapter 8. 6. This is revealed by the positive correlation that can be found between the FN vote and the subsequent rise in blank ballots (r = .62) across all metropolitan cantons (N =3, 883), which becomes non-significant for other candidates such as Bayrou or Mélenchon.

Virginie Despentes’s Vernon Subutex Abstract The first two volumes of Virginie Despentes's trilogy, Vernon Subutex (2015), offer an assessment of the "Génération Mitterrand" and those born during François Mitterrand's presidency (1981-95). Drawing on sociological and historical studies, this article argues that Vernon Subutex charts the contemporary consequences of the neoliberal turn taken during Mitterrand's era. This socioeconomic context significantly impacted the characters' identities and life paths: while some have benefited from class privileges, others have fallen down the social ladder. As for the younger generation, it has internalized the rules of the neoliberal system.

    SOS Racisme et les "ghettos des banlieues" : Construction et utilisations d'une représentation Hérodote | Revue de géographie et de géopolitique -- Les numéros - 113 - Territoires de Pouvoirs en France (second trimestre 2004) -- 113 - Territoires de Pouvoirs en France (second trimestre 2004) SOS Racisme et les "ghettos des banlieues" : Construction et utilisations d'une représentation Jérémy ROBINE Hérodote | Revue de géographie et de géopolitique Page 1/24 SOS Racisme et les "ghettos des banlieues" : Construction et utilisations d'une représentation Résumé : SOS Racisme et les "ghettos des banlieues" : Construction et utilisations d'une représentation Lors des élections présidentielles de 2002, la France s'est découvert des ghettos, que chaque candidat affirmait vouloir détruire. Ces ghettos, ce sont les grands ensembles des grandes agglomérations françaises. Bien que l'on en ait jamais entendu parler, les programmes politiques affirmaient que le problème avait déjà plus d'une décennie. Jamais, sauf dans les propos d'une association, SOS Racisme, qui a progressivement élaboré cette représentation depuis 1987, puis l'a imposé, non sans résistances. Avec la représentation des ghettos, SOS Racisme s'est constitué d'un même coup un objectif - casser les ghettos - et un territoire dans la représentation duquel les forces politiques traditionnelles sont exclues. Ce territoire symbolique a fait l'objet de stratégies politiques, et est devenu l'objet d'enjeu de pouvoir. Article complet Cette version est augmentée par rapport à celle publiée "sur papier". Elle est extraite d'un ouvrage plus long, non publié "La France doit détruire ses ghettos". Depuis la campagne des élections présidentielles et législatives de 2002, cette assertion est devenue banale.

This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. © 2013 The University of Leeds and Thomas Daniel Martin 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank, first and foremost, my supervisors Jim House and Sarah Waters, who have been consistently helpful and accommodating, and who have been willing to give time, effort and numerous invaluable suggestions over the course of my work. I am also grateful to Loïc Rigaud of SOS Racisme and Houria Bouteldja of the Mouvement / Parti des Indigènes de la République for clarifying so many key points on the ideologies, strategies and worldviews of their respective movements. In addition to my supervisors, I would also like to acknowledge the Department of French at the University of Leeds in a wider sense, which over the course of 10 years has allowed me to study at BA, MA and now PhD levels, as well as giving me the opportunity to gain experience in teaching. Finally, I would like to thank my family, and in particular my father Paul Martin, who in the last few years, just as in the rest of my life, has been endlessly supportive, and has kept me grounded through even the most trying times: without his support, this thesis may not have been possible.

  • Deck French Presidential Election Report Totalfinal
    FRENCH ELECTION SOCIAL MEDIA LANDSCAPE 2017 1 FRENCH ELECTION SOCIAL MEDIA LANDSCAPE 2017 INTRODUCTION The role of social media in the context of elections is a hotly debated topic. Social media exerts a growing impact on people’s opinions and choices. Social media platforms are increasingly immersive and host a significant part of public discourse. Fueling the debate is the perceived rise of disinformation – fake news, manipulation, and foreign influence – in recent elections in the United Kingdom, United States, and Columbia. While these are not new phenomena, the dissemination of information via social media is new. The Internet has radically changed how people are exposed to and access news; it has also reduced the role of information gatekeepers, such as traditional media. We analyzed more than 8 million shared links on social media plus 1,000+ media sources to provide a new perspective on the role of social media as a source of information and influence on the 2017 French Presidential election. 2 FRENCH ELECTION SOCIAL MEDIA LANDSCAPE 2017 INTRODUCTION The French Election Social Media Landscape Report 2017 has three phases: this is the final report. It summarizes previously published reports and presents new findings that leverage people’s behaviour to learn about what and why people share. This exploratory study was produced by Bakamo.Social and a team of 20 analysts with support from The Open Society Foundation and input from journalist Pierre Haski. The report: • Illuminates the emerging space between the news media and audiences, covering types of content, users’ behaviours, and patterns of disinformation. • Maps and documents the role of social media in the dissemination of news and the influence exerted by social media networks.
